PREMIERE: Bleeesh - Horizon [Carte Blanshe]

Bytes readies reissue of the killer 1990s electro EPs by SEM aka Damon Baxter.

In the neon-lit alleys where the shadows creep,
In Area 5, where the code runs deep,
Beneath the hum of SEM’s thrumming beats,
Lies a city of circuitry, where reality retreats.

Detroit techno pulses through the veins,
As dystopian dreams dance in chains,
In the flickering lights of byte-laden screens,
Where echoes of the future meet shattered dreams.
 

Strings of dystopian sci-fi weave,
Through the fabric of what we believe,
In the symphony of cybernetic cries,
Where humanity fades and the machine’s sighs.

John Carpenter’s ghosts haunt the streets,
Vangelis’s echoes in every beat,
In this city of shadows, where no one’s free,
The soundtrack of a world lost in entropy.
 

Earlier this month Bytes announced the reissue of the killer 1990s electro EPs by SEM (aka Damon Baxter, who would go on to record as Deadly Avenger) on May 17, 2024. The second track to be made available for public consumption is Area 5, taken from The Demon EP, the second SEM release, on which Damon expanded the pure old-school electro SEM sound to include elements of Detroit techno and dystopian sci-fi strings, giving off serious John Carpenter/Vangelis’s Blade Runner soundtrack vibes.

«As a label, we are specialists in musical diversity. With our newest installment of the annual System 108 compilation we present you two parts of hand picked creative output by our friends, residents and dearest guests. Curated by the artist Ira Bespalova, the concept of both parts is simple and deep: the good, the calm, the kind is part 1 and all anti-heroes, filthy electro-armored jams is part 2. All together - another twist of the planet, another beat of our big heart, that became shelter and home home for a whole new tribe. It pumps, it creates, unites and warms up, kicks it real hard, no matter how tough it is.

Part 2 is enhanced with hard sounds from the all-stars of the main-floor rave crew via System 108. Kovyazin D meets Ace Blunsh, Errortica x Raw Takes (!), TRUST TRUE, DIRTY GLASSEZ w/ N95 - core residents are here! Extra by Locked Club (!!!) and super special by Any Act, RLGN and skrpump. The very real avant-garde of rave in Russia atm.» – System 108

For the closing track of the EP, Fractions interprets Escape Artist with gated pads and trance-influenced, fast-paced touches.

Due for release on June 8, 2020, the EP which has been mastered by Havantepe and is club ready,  will be available digitally, and can be preordered now.

Four Four premiere - Otto Tito - Escape Artist (Fractions Remix)

Breakthrough UK duo Tibasko are quickly establishing themselves as purveyors of an epic, highly melodic and unique sound that sits somewhere between breaks, house, techno and trance. Annie Mac has been a huge supporter over the last couple of years, which has led to plaudits from BBC Introducing, naming them in The Hot List of acts in August 2019 and number three in their Ones to Watch 2020 list.  
They’ve also been named by Kiss FM as Ones to Watch for 2020 and have had previous releases on notable labels such as W&O Street Tracks and Toolroom with DJ support including Denis Sulta, Hammer, The Black Madonna and many more.
Their latest is the ‘Only You’ EP, which lands on the Another Rhythm imprint: a label to which Tibasko are far from strangers having been a part of their journey from the very start. 


A two-track release, it’s a project that’s indicative of the duo’s unique blend of electronica. With a backbone of broken beats and elegantly intertwining synths, the ravey vocal and pulsing bassline combine to evoke an atmosphere that delicately balances nostalgic yearning and visceral punch. 
Tibasko’s ability to evoke intense, heartfelt emotions while never losing sight of the dancefloor is precisely what connects them so firmly to their audience, and the new release is another prime example of their impressive alchemy.

PREMIERE : Tibasko - Only You

Since 2020 unfortunately didn't bring much positive for most of us and many people are suffering from the consequences of the coronavirus, we thought of a way, just in time for Christmas, to give back and support people in great need together with all those who are able to help.

Many people have lost a lot due to the virus, other people were already in need of help before. There is a lot of suffering in this world and it seems impossible as an individual to help everyone, but together we have the opportunity to make a change!

We came together and based on collaborative work, sharing and support we finished 6 tracks that are now included in this fundraiser compilation, straight from the 01010100 roster.

We give you the choice, all tracks can be downloaded for free, but you also have the option to pay a small amount ( you decide).

All proceeds from the sales of these tracks will be donated 100% to "Ärzte ohne Grenzen", a german medical relief organisation that is operating globally.
